Any clue why this hiatus is long. I've heard he's getting a divorce and he had surgery. I also know he is lazy so there's that to.

why must we have lazy mangaka be such a good mangaka I don't understand T_T

I saw a post on Tumblr with a beach scene from the Ant arc in the manga and then the anime version of it. The blogger said, "really Togashi were you even trying" because the manga scene was just like eight crooked lines or something lol. I know he was sick but... the drawings and the hiatus made the Chimera Ant Arc unbearably long and really hard for me to read. I actually hated reading it and am looking forward to the anime version, which I'm sure will bring it much more to life.

Loving the anime so far and read a little bit of the chimera ant arc in the manga but cant take it seriously with that awful art. I think they should bring more main characters in because constant Gon/Killua gets old. I feel lack theres a lack of important characters so far. Anyone else agree?

If you want the good art, you have to buy the volumes. Togashi doesn't care much on how the chapters look like in Weekly Shonen Jump, but he cares enough to re-draw everything for the volumes. That's how Togashi rolls. Shueisha let's him do whatever he wants, because he made two very successful series for them.
